I Am Not Chongzhen

An unexpected transmigration, an unforeseen responsibility. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary man. Now, in an instant, he must shoulder the fate of the Ming dynasty’s two capitals and thirteen provinces.

The Jianzhou Jurchens threaten Liaodong.

In the southwest, chieftains of every size are rebelling.

In the southeast, the Ming can only gaze helplessly at the sea: not a single general, not a single ship.

In the northwest, years of drought have already begun, and unrest is just around the corner.

At court, countless officials are drawing their salaries while doing nothing, and Jiangnan’s capitalists are plotting to overthrow the Ming.

Internal troubles and foreign threats never cease.

This poor ordinary man must tread carefully to hold together the land of China as it teeters on the brink of collapse, turn the tide so that China never falls, and go further still, spreading the rule of the emperor throughout the world!
